Changing Card On Ebay For Fees
 

When the money runs out of a gift card used for fees what should I do? Add a different card or make one time Paypal payment for the fees? What happens if you add a new card? Will EB want you to verify anything like phone #?

Unless you are accepting paypal payments on the eBay account I would recommend using a new card to pay the fees.

Once a card on the account has been declined by eBay because the fees are too large. You have to pay the fees and add a new card to pay future fees to continue to list on ebay

Ebay Fees
 

Okay, i bought a USA account and linked it to a Paypal malaysian account under my girlfriends name with the right info under the paypal account. Now the USA account was suspended and i was thinking if i should pay it?

Will find for my gf in the future through the paypal info and take lawyers action and stuff?

HI- I Do NOT Believe you bought the Ebay acct from this Forum, as we would have warned you of the pitfalls first..
-- As for your dilemma, if you are in Milayasia, dont know if the usa newbie accts will work at all for you? Maybe an older one, 1-2 yrs old?
--Paypal most likely gave you a whole laundry list of items they want to see?

hi the account was fine, it was a 3year account. I got suspended for other reasons.

My main question is about eBay fee's as the eBay is linked to the paypal account with my girlfriend's information.

Do i have to pay the fee's? If i don't will they check which paypal the eBay account was linked to and come after my girlfriend?

Its possible, If its an older acct- Why dont you try to save it? No hope to bring it back?

I bought that usa account that i dont have any info about it Sir, so that ebay account cant be saved. So should i sitll pay the fees or what?

i always recommend paying back ebay fees... if you dont they will freeze your paypal account for sure... that way u will lose paypal account too and if it was with original info means trouble... i never hold back paying ebay fees.. why would u want to invite trouble..

Did he ever say hat he bought an account from this forum????hmmm I think not

Alrite thanks for the advice, ill pay it then :) just waiting for my invoice

One Time Payments
 

Ive read this is the best way to pay your fees. I used a giftcard to open up for fees. The funds are now gone. What I want to know is what happens if you use Paypal for One Time payment? And what happens if they go to charge me and it gets declined?

The Paypal im using is a new one and is exclusive to one ebay account.

I know I can use a credit/debit card to make one time payment, but im interested in knowing pros/cons of using Paypal for a one time payment.

HI-Personally, "i" wouldnt do it... with their new linking etc..
i.e. what if your new ebay ac goes down...now that pp is useless...
I go and buy several of the $100 Gift cards to pay the fees

If you're using that Paypal 'exclusive' for eBay and it's already linked. You might as well use it to pay your fees. But a giftcard will work the same.

exclusive??

i pay with paypal as i use paypal with each of my accounts. if you're using a merchant account then you should be using reloadable gift card cc's

Yeah, since I first posted this ive used Paypal for one time payments with no problems. So it seems you can pay your fees with Paypal if you use the 'one Paypal per ebay account method'.

Another tip: As a rule I print shipping labels and make a payment on my fees everytime before I withdraw.

Maybe set up automatic payment?

it's still okay to use a "real" credit card to make ebay payments, right? just as long as it was never used for any other banned account.

One Time Check Account to Pay eBay fees
 

I have set up a checking account with my bank to do "one-time" payments on eGay. I only fund the account when I want to pay eGay fees and then do a "one time" payment. Afetrwards the account only has about $10. I never authorize eGay to take automatic payments from this account. I leave my gift card in place for that purpose. If/when I get suspended I will close the account. Works like a charm for me...just passing along the info.

yeah as long as the registered info, mainly address and zipcode, and card number are different.

That's one way to do it.

That's what I do :)
No doubt ebay will make it compulsory soon to link accounts though...

I use Paypal one time payments. Gets the balance down before I withdraw.
